Application fiIedOctoberA, 1920. Serial No. 414,512.

T 0 all to ham it may) concern: I Be it known that I, MILTON D. ROLE, acitizen of the United States, residing at West Havemin the county of NewHaven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Antlrattling Devices for Automobile-Windows; and

drawings and the characters of reference description of the'same, andwhich said drawings constitute part of this application and represent,in

Figure 1, a broken vlew 1n inside elevation of the wlndow cas ng of anautomoblle door, the window glass being shown invertical section and myimproved device being shown in side elevation.

Fig. 2, a corresponding view looking in the direction of the arrow a.

Fig. 3, a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4, a detached view in elevation of the mounting-plate.

Fig. 5, a plan view thereof.

Fig. 6, a detached view in elevation of the pivotal roller-carrier.

Fig. 7, an edge view thereof.

My invention relates to ail-improved antirattling device for automobilewindows, the object being to produce a simple, durable and effectivedevice constructed with particular reference to fewness of parts,convenience of application, and attractiveness of appearance.

With these ends in view, my invention consists in certain details ofconstruction and combination of parts, as will be hereinafter describedand pointed out in the claims.

I a Q I In carrying out my 1nvent1on as herein the casing 11 soas toassist in holding the plate in place and also so "as ,toimprove'thefinishof the job', the said'lug and armsbeing bent 1n oppositedirections.

15 receiving a pivot 16 mounting a roller w carrier 17, the inneredge ofwhich is formed with an integral lug 18 and the upper end of which.merges into an integral offsetting,

20 receiving a stud 21 mounting a rubber or other equivalent roller22which rides upon 1' the inner face of thewindow glass 23, which,

as shown, has appliedto its edge a rubber binder 24. The bound edgeoftheglass has 60 horizontal arm 19, havingin itsend, ahole verticalmovement and lateral play in a v guideway 25 produced by a verticalstrip 26- securedto the casing 11 by screws 27 and also by a lip 28formed upon the outer edge ofthe casing, For causing the roller 22toexert a constantyielding pressure uponthe glass 28, I employ ahorizontally-arranged I hellcal spring 29 encircling a headed guide-'pin 30 passing through the lugs 13 and 18-,

as clearly shown in Fig.1, the said "spring 4 being located directlybelow the arm 19 which is suflicientlyoffset from the plane of thecarrier 17 to clear the strip 26 and permit the roller 22 to engagedirectly with the inner face of the glass window 23. The

said spring is also. located above the pivot 16.

While I have shown and described my im,

proved device as applied to the window casing of an automobile" door, itis apparent that it may be used'in any situation Where H it is desiredto window glass.
